- Deliver tools and workflows that ensure the output of the department is completed to the required quality.
- Act as product owner for any tool/workflow projects that require Production Technology resources.

- Support and train team members using their tools and workflows, collaborating with the Training Team and Pipe TDs and Developers wherever necessary.
- Support any transition of maintenance and support of tools from the department to the Production Technology team, ensuring any code written is documented and easy to maintain.
Requirements

- Good production experience of Jira & Shotgun (+3 years).
- Experience managing/mentoring small teams of either animators or pipe TDs (+2 years).

- Ability to problem solve and predict potential problems.
- Have an excellent understanding of how animation department workflows fit in the wider production pipeline.
- How/why animation tools and animation-centric pipeline aid animation workflow and schedules.
- First-hand experience in an artist role that provides an in-depth understanding of the day-to-day tasks, pressures, and priorities of artists.
- Sufficient knowledge of developing tools that fit within larger systems.
- Able to proactively use knowledge and experience to identify, communicate, and solve problems before they impact artists in the department.
- Able to organise and manage multiple priorities and handle change.
- Be comfortable with global collaboration, using excellent communication skills.
